Nigerian Doctor Based in The UK charged with manslaughter after pregnant woman dies from massive blood loss.

A Nigerian doctor was accused last night of killing a woman who died from massive blood loss after travelling to the UK for an abortion.

Dr Adedayo Adedeji, 62, will be charged with the manslaughter of the 32-year-old woman because of his alleged gross negligence three years ago....

The medic will appear in the dock alongside two nurse colleagues, Gemma Pullen, 31, and Margaret Miller, 54, who face the same charge.

All three were employees at a West London clinic where the woman underwent an abortion after travelling to London from Dublin in January 2012.

She collapsed several hours later while travelling in a taxi in Slough, Berkshire, and died of ‘extensive internal bleeding’.

Speaking later, her husband said the couple were refused help by healthcare workers in Ireland after they sought a termination.

The victim had been diagnosed with a condition which can carry an elevated risk of miscarriage and other complications, but was not considered to be life-threatening.

The man and woman – who was of African origin – were foreign nationals living in Ireland under student visas.

One year later Scotland Yard murder squad detectives launched an investigation into the circumstances of the woman’s death. 

Last night police announced that Adedeji and the two nurses have been summonsed to appear before magistrates to face a manslaughter charge.

A spokesman said they are accused of gross negligence and ‘failing to take reasonable care of other persons who may be affected by acts or omissions at work’.

The trio will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 19.
